Help Design The DVD Player You Want

If they don't do anything else, that 5.1 analog malarkey has got to go.

Hear, Hear! Thunders, can you imagine trying to afford five high end analogue cables, ugggh! I anticipate multi format players at high prices in the next year. My short list of required features: SACD, DVD-A, CD, HDCD 24-96, DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, MP3, upsampling, digital and/or firewire, output(no SACD with PCM, like Pioneer) Progressive scan that automatically switches to 480i when necessary, maybe an upgrade path, 2 sets of progressive outs, compatibility with all types of remotes, direct analogue outs, good quality dac's, no faulty Genesis chip, ability to turn off all lights, remote that lights up every button. I am sure that I have missed a few important features. Many decent players achieve some of this, but few, or none do all this. Price under $2,000. What haven't I thought of???

How about variable 2ch. audio output-so we can route those 24/96 discs right into our amplifiers. I'm talking about those discs put out by Classic Records, Chesky, and, hopefully, more companies.
